Why are Prophylactic Anticoagulants Important in Gynecology?
Gynecological procedures, especially major surgeries like hysterectomy and cancer-related surgeries, significantly increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The use of prophylactic anticoagulants reduces the risk of these potentially life-threatening conditions. Additionally, patients with conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or those undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may also benefit from these medications.
